Cheap OMP copy wheel. Have you seen the you tube clip of some guy bending one with ease by hand... scary.!

I've had one for a year, they're fine. Don't knock it til you tried it.

I don't doubt it works fine. It just worries me what the material quality must be like to sell at £21 when the genuine OMP wheel is £150.

Because I wok for an OMP dealer and people buy these wheels believing they have bought a genuine OMP product.

I had a rep & it was fine, I believe Big Cheez may even still have it a few years later.
Of course they aren't as good quality but I'd rather it collapse on impact than have a solid steering wheel in my face.
Genuine fake FTW.

I've got a mcgill motorsport wheel (which is fine), and a genuine OMP boss.
This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted above as fact.

Tom bought something very like that for the ZX recently, ask him. Not OMP but sure he was happy with it.

Tbh i thought it was the genuine OMP stuff that had the problems with strength, everyone was kicking off because they were weaker than the reps that cost a fraction of the price.
